In a restaurant in Shengyang City, more than a dozen burly men sat around two tables, drinking and complaining from time to time.
The entire restaurant had been booked by them. Other than the two tables of people, the rest of the people were the restaurant's manager and waiters.
"Gulp, gulp …"
One of them gulped down a large bowl of wine and wiped the corner of his mouth. He frowned and said angrily, "We've wasted so much time. We've searched the nearby mountains, but we haven't seen anyone."
"That's right! If it weren't for the Temple Master's order, I would have gone … to have a good time! "
"But then again, Xiao Chen's strength is getting more and more terrifying. He killed more than a dozen Saint Kings. If we really meet him, I'm afraid we won't be his match. Everyone says he's a Middle-stage Saint King, but I think he's a Saint Lord."
"Hmph! What are you afraid of? We have so many people, including Brother Wang and the other two Saint Lords. Can't we deal with Xiao Chen? I'm afraid he won't come! "
"Enough! Stop talking nonsense. Let's finish drinking and continue searching. Otherwise, the Temple Master won't let us go! "
These arrogant burly men were the guards of the Soulless Temple.
Half a month ago, when they arrived at the mountains, more than a dozen Saint Kings had been killed, and the guards of the Shuiyun Saint Palace had also been killed. However, Xiao Chen had already escaped.
After that, they searched the nearby mountains and used all kinds of methods, but they still couldn't find Xiao Chen. In the end, they had no choice but to return to Shengyang City and stay there for a while. Now, they were ready to continue searching for Xiao Chen's whereabouts.
.....
In front of the city gate of Shengyang City, a man in a black robe walked into the city with steady steps. His face was calm and indifferent.
When the black-robed man came to the city gate, the two guards at the gate were stunned. They looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes. Immediately, they raised their tridents and blocked the black-robed man's path.
The black-robed man stopped and looked at the two guards indifferently. He smiled and asked, "What's the matter?"
One of the guards asked in a deep voice, "Are you Xiao Chen?"
"Yes, I am." Xiao Chen lightly nodded and said with a smile.
Hearing this, the two guards' faces suddenly changed. They had never seen Xiao Chen before and had only seen him in pictures. One of them hurriedly said, "Go back and report to the City Lord immediately."
A guard ran into the city at top speed. Xiao Chen was shocked, not knowing what was going on.
"The rest of you, join hands with me and take down Xiao Chen!" The guard immediately shouted to the guards on the left and right gates.
"Wait! I have not offended your City Lord, what is the meaning of this? "Quickly reaching out to stop them, Xiao Chen asked with a slight frown.
More than ten guards jumped down from the city gate and surrounded Xiao Chen.
One of the guards shouted coldly, "We are just following orders."
More than a dozen guards surrounded Xiao Chen all of a sudden. The surrounding crowd stopped to watch with great interest.
"Isn't he the Alchemist Xiao Chen that Chief Rosy Cloud mentioned? Not good, I have to go back and report to Chief Rosy Cloud immediately. " A guard of the Chamber of Commerce happened to pass by. When he saw Xiao Chen, his face changed slightly and he immediately rushed into the city.
"Holy Sun City is a place where experts from various forces in the Southern Region gather. I have only been here once and have not offended anyone in Holy Sun City, let alone the City Lord. What is going on? Could it be that Young Master Feng? "Frowning again, Xiao Chen guessed in his heart.
"Master, although the Holy Sun City is considered a relatively large city, it is also because of the Holy Cloud Chamber of Commerce, which has gathered many experts. However, the Holy Sun City itself is not strong, and the Chamber of Commerce is in charge of the Holy Sun City. Master, you did not provoke them, but now they want to deal with you. It seems that there is something fishy going on," Divine Sword said telepathically.
"This may have something to do with that Young Master Feng." Nodding slightly, Xiao Chen replied.
"Do it!" A guard suddenly shouted, and more than ten people immediately swarmed forward.
The guard who took the lead pushed his Saint Qi to the limit and stabbed the trident in his hand at Xiao Chen without any fanciful moves.
Xiao Chen quickly moved. With a little force from his index and middle fingers, he immediately clamped the tip of the trident. At the same time, the other guards also stabbed forward with their tridents.
Glancing coldly at the guards who rushed forward, Xiao Chen suddenly let out a muffled roar and an overbearing aura instantly erupted.
The overbearing aura swept out and the dozen or so guards who rushed forward were immediately sent flying several meters away.
Of course, this was only his aura. Xiao Chen did not mean to hurt them. Otherwise, with their Holy Spirit Realm cultivation, Xiao Chen could kill them in the blink of an eye.
"You are really asking for trouble! You don't even know how strong he is and you just rushed forward recklessly! "
"This guy's strength is not simple. It seems that he is in the Saint King Realm! He can't send these guards flying with just his aura alone! "
"Who is he? I seem to have seen him once in Holy Sun City. "
The crowd of onlookers discussed in low voices as they sized up Xiao Chen.
After a while, the sound of something breaking through the air could be heard. Then, a middle-aged man in the city flew over with more than ten experts and landed at the city gate.
"City Lord! The City Lord is actually here! "The crowd of onlookers was stunned.
"You must be Xiao Chen?" The middle-aged man in the lead smiled slightly. He was wearing a blue-gray brocade robe and had a noble aura. At a glance, one could tell that he had some background.
This person was the City Lord of Holy Sun City, Lu Shengyang. He was about forty years old and his cultivation had reached the Saint King Realm. He was very powerful. His long black hair was draped over his shoulders and he wore a golden hairpin. His face was clean and his appearance was passable. At least he was not ugly.
Behind him were two elders of Holy Sun City and more than ten higher-ups. They were the pillars of Holy Sun City's forces.
Xiao Chen's indifferent gaze was also sizing up Lu Shengyang. After hearing this, Xiao Chen nodded and asked faintly, "I am. I just don't know why the City Lord of Holy Sun City wants to deal with me. Is there a grudge between us? "
Hearing this, Lv Shengyang stood with his hands behind his back. There was a trace of arrogance on his face. He smiled and shook his head slightly. "There is no grudge between us. I was asked by someone to do this. I heard that you stole someone else's treasure, so I only took action to capture you. I have no ill intentions."
"Stole someone else's treasure?" The moment he heard this, Xiao Chen was slightly stunned. He thought that the Sacred Fire Palace had been destroyed. Even if they knew that Xiao Chen had stolen the Sacred Fire Mysterious Crystal Source, no one would come to Lu Shengyang for help. Moreover, the Sacred Fire Palace was far away from Holy Sun City.
"City Lord of Holy Sun City, I think you're mistaken. Who slandered me? "Xiao Chen shook his head faintly and asked with a smile.
"It's not convenient for me to say this. If you don't want to suffer physical pain, I advise you to go back with me." Lu Shengyang smiled faintly and said with a slightly arrogant face, still looking magnanimous.
"Did Young Master Feng tell you?" Xiao Chen guessed.
"No."
"Then it's the Sacred Fire Palace?" Xiao Chen continued to guess.
"No."
"Since it's neither, then the City Lord of Holy Sun City must have been deceived." Xiao Chen spread his hands indifferently and smiled faintly. Immediately, he walked toward the city gate unscrupulously.
When he passed by Lu Shengyang, Lu Shengyang suddenly stretched out his hand to stop him. However, a strange scene happened. Xiao Chen strangely disappeared. In less than half a second, he had appeared behind Lu Shengyang's arm.
This scene suddenly made everyone's face change drastically. Even Lu Shengyang was shocked. The scene just now seemed to be an illusion. It was as if Lu Shengyang's arm had passed through Xiao Chen's chest and he couldn't stop Xiao Chen.
"Your Excellency is really not simple. You have such a powerful movement skill. This City Lord would like to learn from you." After the shock, Xiao Chen's arrogant attitude made Lu Shengyang slightly unhappy. He smiled faintly and the power of Saint Qi in his body instantly burst out. He rushed toward Xiao Chen like lightning.
The fierce power of the Late-stage Saint Monarch Realm burst out. A terrifying aura instantly shrouded the surroundings, scaring everyone to retreat.
"Master, be careful!" Divine Sword suddenly shouted through voice transmission.
Lu Shengyang's speed was extremely terrifying. He arrived in the blink of an eye, but he didn't see any movement from Xiao Chen. He couldn't help but feel strange. He couldn't see the depth of Xiao Chen's cultivation and didn't know Xiao Chen's strength. However, Xiao Chen was so calm at this moment that Lu Shengyang didn't dare to underestimate him.
The onlookers were also secretly puzzled at this moment. They were all wondering if Xiao Chen was really confident that he could withstand Lu Shengyang's power without fighting back.
Xiao Chen clearly felt Lu Shengyang's terrifying power. He was shocked, but there was no fear on his face. Xiao Chen's eyes were looking at a beautiful figure running in a hurry from the city.
Lu Shengyang's attack was like an arrow that couldn't be retracted. His palm, which contained terrifying power, fiercely smashed toward Xiao Chen's back.
"City Lord of Shengyang City, stop!" Seeing that Lu Shengyang's attack was about to arrive, the face of the beautiful figure in the city changed drastically. She hurriedly shouted.
Hearing this, Lu Shengyang's face suddenly changed. He looked at the source of the voice and his face changed again. He immediately retracted his power and forcibly stopped his palm an inch away from Xiao Chen's back. Then, a strong wind swept out and blew Xiao Chen's long black hair up.
"Chief Cai Yun?" The crowd outside the city looked at the source of the voice and were all stunned.
"Miss Cai Yun, long time no see." Even though he was almost hit, Xiao Chen's face was still calm at this moment. He looked at the seductive Cai Yun and smiled faintly.
Cai Yun, who was wearing a red cheongsam, had a slender body that was extremely attractive. Her hot and charming body was even more fascinating.
Cai Yun's beautiful eyes first swept angrily at Lu Shengyang. Then, she bowed slightly to Xiao Chen and smiled respectfully, "Sir Xiao Chen."
Cai Yun's simple words made Lu Shengyang's face change drastically. Not far away, the upper echelons of Shengyang City and the onlookers were all stunned. They looked at Xiao Chen with widened eyes and were extremely shocked.
